      Good question. Cross that bridge when you get there. GOP plays dirty but the real reason the DNC fails despite having popular policies is their unpopular politicians.

      It’s like some sort of Schrodinger’s DNC… it is both the only vehicle to progressive change but its comprised of individuals wholly incapable of driving it there.

      The first step is to primary all the right wing democrats. GOP won’t even need to fix the election if the DNC doesn’t clean house.

          2 things;

          1. The GOP and the DNC are the sword and shield of the wealthy elites respectively.

          2. The USA was specifically not set up with 2 parties. George Washington knew that a 2 party system would undermine the system of checks and balances.

          So like while I agree that good guy vs bad guy politics is bunk… to misrepresent the entire democracy as a sham is both inaccurate and incredibly dangerous.

          You’re absolutely right. They are exactly the same so there’s no reason to vote for any Democratic candidates. Just give up and support facism already.
